1. Heya! Dan McAdam. I'm pretty much brand new to gamedev. I'm a massage therapist and trying to kickstart an audiobook narration/VO career. If anybody want some voice acting for your game let me know, I'm happy to pitch in!
2. Nope. I have some free time at the moment and decided to follow game design, a passion I never really got around to pursuing. A jam seems like the perfect motivation to push myself to take on bigger tasks and learn new things.
3. I've always been a fan of the Metal Gear Solid games. The quirky humor, pure camp and over the top narrative and meta narratives are just too good. I also really enjoy roguelikes like nethack, C: DDA, Dwarf Fortress etc. but my primary inspiration for the game I chose for the jam is probably games like Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne with their fast based, top down dodging gameplay
4. Not really. I played around in Unity trying to learn how to make VR games but didn't get very far at all. In the week I've been using Godot I've learned a lot more than I ever did in the 2 weeks I messed with Unity.
5. Game design. I love theory crafting systems and working out how I think a game will work. I'm excited to finally get a chance to put those theories to the test!
6. To learn Godot and better understand how to make the games I want to play. I also am hoping to pick up some knowledge from my fellow devs via osmosis lol
